Well...it didn't happen. Saying those words "good baby" did not turn Anna into a monster. In fact, she's only getting better and better! She is a great baby. Her smiles have gotten bigger, more frequent, and more spontaneous. SO fun.
She takes about four 2-2 1/2 hour naps. And since 4 1/2 weeks she's been sleeping a 6-9 hour stretch at night, eating and then going back to sleep for a few hours. Seriously!
Of course there are days that her naps are a little messed up, she wants to eat more often, or cries hard when it's bedtime but pretty much that's what she's been doing. She does a kind of spit up/throw up thing once every couple of days. I'm not sure what's causing it but she gags really easily.
David and I are still able to have time together in the evenings since Anna goes to bed at a decent hour. Our nights are not filled with a fussy baby like they were with Natalie. It's so nice. Life is good.

I took this picture because it just typifies my everyday life. Anna being happy, Natalie curiously watching/playing with her, and Cyrena busily writing and working on something. 
Anna likes to look in her mirror
Trying to get her to smile at the camera
She likes the mobile in her swing--a great craigslist find
I still have to wake her up from every nap to eat, this ensures she gets all her feedings in so she'll sleep long at night! Sometimes it takes her awhile to wake up.
Another attempt at capturing a smile

She is adorable!! I'm so glad she is such a good baby and I love her little smile!
So cute!
I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but my third baby was an easy going, wonderful, happy baby.
Now she's two and not so much those things anymore ;)
It still surprises me to see her with such dark hair for some reason, I know it won't stay like that, or maybe it will?
She is so cute! Don't listen to Kimberly... Mary is an angel. hee, hee, hee
She is seriously so good! I couldn't believe how much she slept while I was there. Yay for you! I will send you that photo I took of her.
Aww, happy for you that she's a great baby! :)
Yeah for great babies!!! She definitely fits the Dean mold :0)!! So cute!!!
Anna is adorable! It is cute to see that picture of Cyrena and Natalie all growing up. I love that Cyrena has the dark hair, and Natalie the light. Very cute children Jenna. You are an awesome mom! Love you. Anna is beautiful. Glad to hear that she is such a good baby. Love you guys and miss you.
She is so cute! And how lucky to have such a good baby! Parker slept through the night at an early stage, and did the gag and throw up thing. Luckily the sleeping stayed and the throwing up stopped! What beautiful girls you have, you are blessed!
